Corners warping
Posted: Thu Nov 05, 2015 8:35 pm
I'm new to 3d printing and am having trouble figuring out why my corners are warping. Is it likely a bed adhesion issue?
I'm printing PLA w/ 215 nozzle & have tried many temps on bed 40-85. I've tried the elmers purple and frutis. And about 15-30 minutes into a larger architectural prints w/ big simple bases, the corners always warp. It's usually the same corner that is always the worst.
The skirt and first layers always stick fine, it's just later in the print that the corners eventually come up.
We bought the machine pre assembled. I've checked the gap, and from as far as I can tell it is .006 with good resistance. I printed the squares and changed the multiplier to .92 based on caliper readings.
The table is a little shaky that we have it on, could that be the problem? Or is it likely a bed adhession issue, or could it be that my bed is actually unlevel. Getting frustrated, I didn't realize this printer was going to be so difficult to learn how to use.
I've attached a couple photos of the corners.
Thanks for any help.
